Pumpkin Protein Pancakes

These hotcakes are made with nutrient dense whole grain buckwheat and mixed with sweet dates and pumpkin, they make the perfect base to a multitude of toppings. Add in Vega Performance Protein Powder for a high protein boost and get ready to face the day.

I love these with a smear of almond butter and goat yogurt .  But on the go – they’re great fresh out of the toaster plain as well!  Well work the cook time 🙂

Ingredients

  • 6 servings Protein Powder (Egg white, pea protein)
  • 2 & 1/3  cup wholegrain buckwheat flour
  • 3 cups non-dairy milk

  • 6 Tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 16 dates, pitted
  • 3 tbsp baking powder
  • 5 tsp baking soda
  • 4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 cup melted coconut oil

Preparation

In a food processor, add all ingredients and blend together until fully combined.

On medium-high heat, in a pan, melt coconut oil and pour pancake batter to desired pancake size. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side or until bubbles begin to appear. Flip and allow to cook until outside is browned.
